All I keep hearing/reading is that it's supposed to be another La Nina winter. Whether or not that translates into another 800 inches is anyones guess, but it should be good none the less.

We are at a distance from the coast that is is really hard to tell one way or another if it is going to be wet, dry, cold, hot, etc. We're too far from the coast, and too fram from the center on the US for el nino, el nina, etc to give real insight.

I always just say you never know, hope for the best, and ski as much as possible no matter what.

I hear that when it turns to winter, it sometimes snows in utah. Not all the time, just sometimes.

I'm guessing were gonna see everyone open on time but they're gonna pump mad snow. 10 day forcast says sun every day, probably gonna be sunny for two more weeks. but its getting cooler and i'm pretty sure at PC (6000 ft) its going to be cold enough each night to make snow, definitely cold enough in bcc/lcc (8000ft) to make snow too. I feel like this was how last year went, not very much snow early season but as soon as december hit, it started puking.

Yeah early season is lookin like machine snow. Brighton and Soli are supposedly opening in 16 days or something so it's gonna be a necessity. I know PC is supposed to have overnight lows in the teens these next couple nights at least, so I'm sure the Brighton/Guardsman area will be cold enough to allow the machines to run.
